How River Valley Loans Authorization Hold Works
When you apply for a River Valley Loan, the authorization process begins with a soft credit inquiry — visible only to you with absolutely zero impact on your FICO score. Unlike traditional banks that perform hard pulls during pre-qualification, River Valley Loans protects your credit while you shop for the best rate.
Once you accept a River Valley Loan offer, a standard hard credit inquiry is performed as part of the final verification. River Valley Loans then places an authorization hold on your loan documents for up to 72 hours — during which you can review, cancel, or modify your River Valley Loan before funds are disbursed.
After final approval, River Valley Loans initiates a direct deposit transfer to your bank account — typically arriving within 1 business day. This two-step River Valley Loans authorization process ensures borrowers maintain full control. River Valley Loans will never fund a loan without your explicit electronic signature and consent.
